Radical changes are planned (once again) in the country’s higher education, and a framework law is expected in the near future and many expect it to be a big surprise for universities. And this surprise will be related to his administration and the way in which the rectors are elected, as well as the new role of the councils that return to his administration.
However, at the same time, the Ministry of Education and the government “invite” 300 visiting Greek professors and 400 more visiting professors from abroad to teach in Greek universities with money provided by the Recovery Fund. The difference between the two categories is that the first refers to professors who are organically connected to the university, while the second refers to a simple series of lectures and lectures. This program, according to information from “NEON”, will be financed for up to three years (and of course it will begin after the pandemic that affects the planet ends), while all university students will be able to teach from two weeks to three months. at a Greek university with the possibility, of course, to expand this relationship if you wish. After this period, of course, many wonder what will happen. Some respond that universities will be motivated to seek resources to finance themselves outside the state budget.
“Mission” of each of them in Greece, the teaching of their subject, the “tutoring” in their science but also their help in the development and updating of the study plans of the universities. A crucial point of the above is that the professors who will come will be able to continue their research from here or connect Greek institutions with it.
And 3 years ago
A similar program had been “run” three years ago with exclusive funding from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, during which dozens of Greek scholars had come to Greece from 28 major American and Canadian institutions. Responsible for managing this program was the Institute of International Education, in collaboration with the Fulbright Foundation in Greece. The result? 90% of the teachers who came to our country maintained their academic relationships with him and the exchange of knowledge. This program had started after a meeting between the president of the American Institute Alan Goodman and the then president of IKY, professor at the Athens School of Medicine, Efi Basdra. 
In the new program being developed by the Ministry of Education, of course, it seems absurd to give this opportunity only to US teachers, but it should be extended to EU countries as well.
Otherwise and according to the information of “NEON”:
Electoral bodies in universities are changing in an effort to reduce nepotism and customer relationships. Their number continues to be 11 members or 15 per case and is not reduced, while they will have five or six members from a university other than the one the accused is heading and at least two members from a foreign university.
College boards are making a comeback, but with greater responsibilities that will likely exceed those of the rectors. A decision has not yet been made, but it is possible that the law for the constitution of university administration councils will return to its original form, that is, with the provision that the presidents of the councils will elect their rectors, something that has already sparked a lively debate. in the academic community of the country, which takes “battle positions”.
The law will also include all the new changes to college custody that came after the latest advancements.
Joint grades
The above is part of the new law which, however, as “TA NEA” has rewritten, will also include the possibility of “joint degrees” between different departments and institutions, as well as the possibility of internal transfer to an institution between objects. Similarly, if the young person decides that he wants to change his study direction. Abroad this is very widespread and students from each university can study in parallel in different subjects and from four to six years, depending on the scientific area, acquiring specialization in two fields. In these systems, students can choose from a “menu” of different courses and studies.
